Discover Hawaii Tours - Helped save our day, August 24, 2010
Reviewer: Allison from Ketucky USA

0 of 0 people found this review helpful

My wife and I were on vacation in Hawaii and booked an inter-island flight and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park tour with Discover Hawaii Tours. I wanted to leave a review to tell everyone how great the tour was, even though we never got to see the volcanoes...

The reason we couldn't see the volcanoes was that they had recently erupted putting too much sulfur in the air and making it unsafe to breath. At first we were disappointed because we had come all the way to see the volcanoes and our day would be ruined, but the team at Discover Hawaii Tours helped save our day.

They were able to adjust the tour on the fly and bring us to some really amazing sites that we would not have been able to see otherwise, such as: Akaka Falls (amazing rainbow), Mauna loa macadamia nut farms, and orchid farms/nurseries. Our driver, Jonathon, couldn't have been more accommodating and knowledgeable about the local spots to hit. Thanks! Check out the pics.

At the end of the day, I think the best part about traveling is having unexpected things occur, and experiencing something different along the way. Sure we didn't get to see the volcanoes, but we did get to experience a little bit of what Hawaii locals do on a daily basis. Where else in the world are your plans interrupted by a volcano?

Going forward we always recommend Discover Hawaii Tours to all our friends because of our experience - they couldn't have been more helpful from start to finish.

Aloha

First time to an active volcano!, August 23, 2010

My husband and I recently went to the Big Island with Discover Hawaii Tours after hearing so much about it from my brother who did the tour a month before. Our guide Phoenix was fantastic! We really had a good time, I have been talking to all of my friends about it. We saw a lot of very cool places around Hilo that we would have otherwise probably missed. The Volcanoes National Park was one of the highlights of the tour, second of course to the lava viewing.

The tour was amazing, we had a really great day and made some friends along the way too. The only downside was that we forgot to pack a light jacket and we got rained on throughout the day, but the rain made for some amazing waterfall pics! Thanks again Phoenix!

Fun and Easy Day, August 22, 2010
Reviewer: Mariano from Tampa Bay, Florida

I stayed on Maui with some friends and we knew we wanted to island hop for a day and see another Hawaiian Island. I'm so glad I found this company, they made all the arrangements for us. The only thing to keep in mind is that you have to drive yourself to the airport in Maui (a beautiful drive). We were greeted at the Hilo airport by Tony who took great care of us the entire day, he made sure that we felt like his "ohana" or "family" by the end of the day.

We had a great day and my friends can't stop talking about it. The only thing was that I forgot to bring extra cash along, and I couldn't find an ATM anywhere, so if you want to purchase any souvenirs or snacks along the way make sure you bring cash and not just cards.

This Hawaiian guided tour allows you a unique opportunity to see aged lava flows as well as the Big Island's world famous black sand beaches each included in this relaxing, fun-filled tour.

Here, you will walk beside the gaping crater and witness, firsthand, the eerie steam vents.

Complete your Hawaiian adventure as you admire the Big Island's awe-inspiring Rainbow Falls. See a lush tropical rainforest and relax near cascading waterfalls.

Tour Notes

When flowing, lava can be often be seen day or night. Due to flight departure times from Hilo, visits to the lava viewing area regularly conclude at approximately 7pm. If you desire to see lava at night, please be sure to check the time of predicted sunset during the season in which you are planning to visit to determine darkness for lava viewing. Because of the ever-changing intensity and course of lava activity, viewing areas are subject to change as deemed necessary by Hawaii Civil Defense.

All passengers are required to sign a release of liability form.

 

Currently Civil Defense has closed the Kalapana viewing area during the day. Nature changes so the lava flows, viewing location, and the tour will change accordingly.
